No. 16/705,459 filed on Dec. 6, 2019, which is a continuation application of International Application No. PCT/CN2018/114224, filed on Nov. 6, 2018, which claims priority to International Application No. PCT/CN2017/110533, filed on Nov. 10, 2017, the entire disclosures of all of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

Implementations of the present disclosure relate to the communication field, and more particularly, to a method and device for transmitting data.

BACKGROUND

In a 5G New Radio (NR) system, an Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC) service is introduced, whose characteristic is that ultra-high reliability (e.g. 99.999%) transmission could be realized within an extreme latency (e.g. 1 ms). To achieve the above aim, a concept of Grant free is proposed. A Grant free scheduling mode adopts a semi-static configuration mode (i.e. Type1 mode) or a semi-static configuration plus dynamic triggering mode (i.e. Type2 mode) as its resource configuration mode. A terminal device may transmit data on resources semi-statically configured (Type1) or semi-statically configured plus dynamically triggered (Type2) according to service demands, thus avoiding a process of resource request (SR) initiation and Buffer Status Report (BSR), and increasing effective transmission time of the terminal device.

However, in the Grant free scheduling mode, resources are occupied dynamically, which increases a blind detection complexity of a network device. Sometimes it may occur that services cannot be transmitted in time due to limited resource dynamic occupation (e.g., an initial sending location is limited), thus affecting user experience. Therefore, a technical solution is needed to solve the above problem.

SUMMARY

In a first aspect, a method for transmitting data is provided.

In combination with the first aspect, in some possible implementations of the first aspect, the information for indicating the starting position of the transmission of the uplink data block is used for indicating whether a first transmission of the uplink data block is capable of being initiated at any position of a non-dynamic resource which is a resource for non-dynamic scheduling transmission.

Optionally, in the implementation of the present disclosure, the network device may configure the terminal device to initiate the first transmission of the uplink data block at any position of the non-dynamic resource or on a specific non-dynamic resource according to the time delay requirements of the services transmitted on the non-dynamic resource, which is beneficial for meeting the time delay requirements of different services, and can also reduce a blind detection complexity of the network device, or can avoid decrease of the system capacity. For example, for services with high delay requirements, it may be configured that the first transmission of the uplink data block can be initiated at any position of the non-dynamic resource, thus timely transmission of the uplink data block can be realized and user experience can be improved. For services with low delay requirements, it may be configured that the first transmission of the uplink data block can be initiated on a specific non-dynamic resource, so that configuration of the starting position can be better matched with the delay characteristics of the service while a blind detection complexity at the network side can be reduced, or decrease of the system capacity can be avoided.

The network device 110 may be a device that communicates with a terminal device. The network device 110 may provide communication coverage for a specific geographical area, and may communicate with a terminal device (e.g., UE) in the coverage area. Optionally, the network device 110 may be a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) in a GSM system or CDMA system, a NodeB (NB) in a WCDMA system, an Evolutional Node B (eNB or eNodeB) in an LTE system, or a radio controller in a Cloud Radio Access Network (CRAN).

Optionally, the terminal device 120 may be referred to as an access terminal, a User Equipment (UE), a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a remote station, a remote terminal, a mobile device, a user terminal, a terminal, a wireless communication device, a user agent, or a user apparatus.

In an implementation of the present disclosure, a Grant free configuration mode may include two types, i.e., Type1 and Type2. Herein Type1 is to configure a Grant free resource (or may also be referred to as a non-dynamic resource) using Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, and the Grant free resource may include a time-frequency domain resource, reference signal information, a modulation coding mode, power control parameters and other information. Type2 is to configure a Grant free resource through joint configuration by high-level signaling (semi-static configuration) and physical layer signaling. Herein the configuration by the RRC signaling includes a time domain resource period and power control parameters, and the configuration by the physical layer signaling includes a frequency domain resource, reference signal information, a modulation coding mode, power control parameters and other information.

FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a method 200 for transmitting data provided by an implementation of the present disclosure. The method 200 may be executed by the network device in the communication system 100 shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the method 200 may include acts S210 and S220.

In S210, a network device sends configuration information to a terminal device, and the configuration information includes at least one of the following: information for indicating a starting position of transmission of an uplink data block, information for indicating an end position of transmission of an uplink data block, and information for configuring a reference signal for transmission of an uplink data block.

In S220, the network device receives an uplink data block sent by the terminal device according to the configuration information.

It should be noted that the configuration information in the implementation of the present disclosure is configuration information specific to the non-dynamic resource (i.e., Grant free resource), or in other words, the configuration information is used for configuration of the non-dynamic resource. The non-dynamic resource is a resource for non-dynamic scheduling transmission, and the non-dynamic scheduling is a scheduling mode other than a dynamic scheduling (e.g., scheduling via physical layer signaling), for example, a semi-statically configured transmission mode (e.g., Type1 transmission mode), or a semi-statically configured plus dynamically triggered transmission mode (e.g., Type2 transmission mode).

It should also be noted that in the implementation of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned non-dynamic resource may be a time domain resource, a frequency domain resource, or a code domain resource, etc. for non-dynamic scheduling transmission. Similarly, the starting position for the transmission of the uplink data block may refer to the starting position (i.e., starting time domain position) of the time domain resource in the non-dynamic resource, or may refer to the starting position of the frequency domain resource or the code domain resource in the non-dynamic resource. The end position for the transmission of the uplink data block may refer to the end position (i.e., the end time domain position) of the time domain resource in the non-dynamic resource, or may refer to the end position of the frequency domain resource or the code domain resource in the non-dynamic resource. The implementations of the present disclosure are not specifically limited thereto. Descriptions are made in the implementations of the present disclosure mainly by taking the starting position and the end position being the starting time domain position and the ending time domain position respectively as an example. According to the teachings of the implementations of the present disclosure, the obtained relevant technical solutions indicating the starting position or end position for uplink transmission on the frequency domain resource or the code domain resource fall within the protection scope of the implementations of the present disclosure.

It should be understood that the Grant free resource may be periodic. For example, the Grant free resource in each period may be multiple continuous time domain resources or multiple discontinuous time domain resources. Or it may be considered that the terminal device has only one transmission opportunity in each period, and the terminal device may perform uplink transmission on the Grant free resource in the each period. Alternatively, the Grant free resource may be aperiodic. It is not specifically limited in the implementations of the present disclosure.

Hereinafter, a method for transmitting data according to the implementations of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to Implementations 1 to 3.

In Implementation 1, the information for indicating the starting position of the transmission of the uplink data block may be used for indicating whether a first transmission of the uplink data block is capable of being initiated at any position of a non-dynamic resource.

For example, when the Grant free resource is used for transmitting delay-insensitive services (e.g., Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services based on network protocols, or periodic services), i.e., services with lower delay requirements, the network device may configure the terminal device to initiate a first transmission of an uplink data block on a specific Grant free resource. Herein the specific Grant free resource may be agreed by the protocol or pre-configured to the terminal device by the network device. In this case, the information for indicating the starting position of the transmission of the uplink data block may be used for indicating that the first transmission of the uplink data block cannot be initiated at any position of the non-dynamic resource, so that the terminal device can only initiate the first transmission of the uplink data on a specific Grant free resource.

For another example, when the Grant free resource is used for transmitting delay-sensitive services, i.e. services with higher delay requirements, the network device may configure the terminal device to initiate the first transmission of the uplink data block at any position of the Grant free resource, so that the terminal device may transmit the uplink data block in time, which is beneficial for avoiding usage limitation of the non-dynamic resource (e.g. limitation of the starting transmission position of the resource). In this case, the information for indicating the starting position of the transmission of the uplink data block may be used for indicating that the first transmission of the uplink data block is capable of being initiated at any position of the non-dynamic resource.

Therefore, according to the method for transmitting data in the implementations of the present disclosure, the network device may configure the terminal device to initiate the first transmission of the uplink data block at any position of the non-dynamic resource or on a specific non-dynamic resource according to the time delay requirements of the services transmitted on the non-dynamic resource, which is beneficial for meeting the time delay requirements of different services, and can also reduce a blind detection complexity of the network device, or can avoid decrease of the system capacity. For example, for services with high delay requirements, it may be configured that the first transmission of the uplink data block is capable of being initiated at any position of the non-dynamic resource, thus timely transmission of the uplink data block can be realized and user experience can be improved. For services with low delay requirements, it may be configured that the first transmission of the uplink data block is initiated on a specific non-dynamic resource, so that configuration of the starting position can be better matched with the delay characteristics of the services while a flexibility of uplink data transmission can be improved.

For convenience of distinction and description, in the implementations of the present disclosure, the information for indicating the starting position of the transmission of the uplink data block is labeled as first indication information, that is, the first indication information may indicate the information for indicating the position of the transmission of the uplink data block. Optionally, in Implementation 1, 1 bit may be used for the first indication information. For example, it may be configured that when the first indication information is 0, it indicates that the first transmission of the uplink data block cannot be initiated at any position of the non-dynamic resource, and when the first indication information is 1, it indicates that the first transmission of the uplink data block is capable of being initiated at any position of the non-dynamic resource. Or the reverse indications may be configured, and the implementations of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

Correspondingly, the terminal device may initiate the first transmission of the uplink data block according to the information, configured by the network device, for indicating the starting position of the transmission of the uplink data block. If the uplink data block needs to be retransmitted, the terminal device may perform subsequent data transmission according to resource patterns dynamically configured or preconfigured, or may perform subsequent transmission using continuous resources, i.e. the resources immediately following the resources for the first transmission are used for subsequent transmission. “Continuous” herein preferably is continuous in the time domain.

It should be understood that the terminal device performs uplink transmission when there are service requirements, that is, the terminal device performs uplink transmission according to the above configuration information only when there are service requirements.

Hereinafter, an indication mode of the first indication information will be described with reference to specific examples shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.

As shown in FIG. 3, the first indication information is used for indicating that the first transmission of the uplink data block cannot be initiated at any position of the non-dynamic resource. In this case, the first indication information may be 0, that is, it may be configured that when the first indication information is 0, it indicates that the first transmission of the uplink data block cannot be initiated at any position of the non-dynamic resource. In this case, the terminal device may initiate the first transmission of the uplink data block on a specific Grant free resource, which is part of the Grant free resource. For example, the Grant free resource in a period may include 4 Transmission Time Intervals (TTIs), i.e., TTI0, TTI1, TTI4 and TTI5, and the specific Grant free resource may include TTI0 and TTI4 as indicated by shaded parts in FIG. 3a . In such way, in a transmission opportunity (i.e. within a Grant free resource period), the terminal device may initiate the first transmission of the uplink data block on TTI0 or TTI4, but cannot initiate the first transmission of the uplink data block on TTI1 and TTI5.

As shown in FIG. 4, the first indication information is used for indicating that the first transmission of the uplink data block is capable of being initiated at any position of the non-dynamic resource, in this case, the first indication information may be 1. That is, it may be configured that when the first indication information is 0, it indicates that the first transmission of the uplink data block cannot be initiated at any position of the non-dynamic resource. In FIG. 4, the Grant free resource in a period may include TTI0, TTI1, TTI4 and TTI5, and in this case, the terminal device may initiate the first transmission of the uplink data block at any position of the above resource.

Implementation 2: The information for indicating the starting position of the transmission of the uplink data block is used for indicating a resource position where a first transmission of an uplink data block is capable of being initiated in a non-dynamic resource which is a resource for non-dynamic scheduling transmission.

Different from that in the Implementation 1, in the Implementation 2, the information for indicating the starting position of the transmission of the uplink data block may directly indicate the resource position where the first transmission of the uplink data block is capable of being initiated. Preferably, a bitmap mode may be used for the resource position for the first transmission of the uplink data block.

For example, when the Grant free resource is used for transmitting delay-insensitive services, i.e., services with low delay requirements, the network device may configure the terminal device to initiate the first transmission of the uplink data block on part of the Grant free resource, i.e., the information for indicating the starting position of the transmission of the uplink data block may be used for indicating part of the non-dynamic resource. Herein part of the Grant free resource may be used for the first transmission within the Grant free resource period. In this case, the terminal device cannot initiate the first transmission of the uplink data block at any position of the non-dynamic resource, and can only initiate the first transmission of the uplink data on part of the Grant free resource.

For another example, when the Grant free resource is used for transmitting delay-sensitive services, i.e. services with high delay requirements, the information for indicating the starting position of the transmission of the uplink data block may be used for indicating all of the non-dynamic resource, and the terminal device may initiate the first transmission of the uplink data block at any position of the Grant free resource. Thus, when the terminal device needs to transmit delay-sensitive services, the terminal device may transmit the uplink data block in time, which is beneficial for avoiding a transmission delay caused by usage limitation of non-dynamic resource (e.g. limitation of the starting transmission position of the resource).

Therefore, according to the method for transmitting data in the implementations of the present disclosure, the network device may configure the terminal device to initiate the first transmission of the uplink data block on all of the non-dynamic resource or part of the non-dynamic resource according to the time delay requirements of the services transmitted on the non-dynamic resource, which is beneficial for meeting the time delay requirements of different services, can also reduce the blind detection complexity of the network device, or can avoid the decrease of the system capacity. For example, for services with high delay requirements, it may be configured that the first transmission of the uplink data block is capable of being initiated at any position of the non-dynamic resource, thus timely transmission of the uplink data block can be realized and user experience can be improved. For services with low delay requirements, it may be configured that the first transmission of the uplink data block is initiated on part of the non-dynamic resource, so that configuration of the starting position can be better matched with the delay characteristics of the service while a flexibility of uplink data transmission can be improved.

Hereinafter, an indication mode of the first indication information will be described with reference to specific examples shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the information for indicating the starting position of the transmission of the uplink data block, that is, the resource position indicated by the first indication information, may be indicated in a bitmap mode. For example, the Grant free resource in a period may include TTI0, TTI1, TTI4, and TTI5, so the first indication information may be 4 bits, indicating whether TTI0, TTI1, TTI4, and TTI5 can be used for the first transmission of the uplink data block, respectively. For example, in FIG. 5, the first indication information may be 1010, so that the terminal device initiates the first transmission of the uplink data block on TTI0 or TTI4, but cannot initiate the first transmission of the uplink data block on TTI1 and TTI5. In FIG. 6, the first indication information may be 1111, so that the terminal device initiates the first transmission of the uplink data block at any position of TTI0, TTI1, TTI4, and TTI5.

Implementation 3: The information for indicating an end position of transmission of an uplink data block is used for indicating an end position for sending an uplink data block in a non-dynamic resource.

In Implementation 3, the network device may configure information for indicating an end position of transmission of an uplink data block. It should be understood that in this implementation, whether the network device configures a starting position for transmission of an uplink data block is not specifically limited in the implementation of the present disclosure. That is, in the implementations of the present disclosure, the network device may configure only a starting position for transmission of an uplink data block. Alternatively, the network device may configure only an end position for the transmission of an uplink data block. Alternatively, the network device may configure both the starting position for the transmission of an uplink data block and the end position for the transmission of an uplink data block.

For convenience of distinction and description, the information for indicating the end position of the transmission of the uplink data block is labeled as second indication information, that is, the second indication information may be used for indicating the end position of the transmission of the uplink data block.

Similar to Implementation 1, the information for indicating the end position of the transmission of the uplink data block, that is, the second indication information, may further be used for indicating whether the end position for the transmission of the uplink data block is any position of the non-dynamic resource. For example, the second indication information may be 1 bit. It may be configured that when the second indication information is 1, it indicates that the end position for the transmission of the uplink data block may be any position of the non-dynamic resource; and when the second indication information is 0, it indicates that the end position for the transmission of the uplink data block cannot be any position of the non-dynamic resource. In this case, the end position for the uplink data transmission may be a specific position agreed in the protocol, for example, the last TTI in a period of the Grant free resource, or a specific position preconfigured by the network device. The specific implementation process may refer to the relevant description in Implementation 1, which is not repeated here for brevity.

Similar to Implementation 2, the information for indicating the end position of the transmission of the uplink data block, that is, the second indication information may also be used for directly indicating the end position for the transmission of the uplink data block. Preferably, a bitmap mode may be adopted for the second indication information for identifying which positions are the end positions for the transmission of the uplink data block in a Grant free resource period. As an optional implementation, the end position for sending an uplink data block in the non-dynamic resource is a last transmission opportunity in a period of the non-dynamic resource, and the specific implementation process may refer to the relevant description in Implementation 2, which is not repeated here for brevity.

Hereinafter, an indication mode of the second indication information will be described in details with reference to a specific example shown in FIG. 7.

For example, the network device configures for the terminal device that a transmission opportunity occupies 4 TTIs and the transmission interval between two transmission opportunities is 7 TTIs, that is, the period of the Grant free resource is 7 TTIs, and the Grant free resource in each period occupies 4 TTIs. As shown in FIG. 7, Grant free resource in a period occupies TTI 0 to TTI3, i.e., 4 TTIs in total. In the Implementation 3, the network device may configure the end position for transmission of an uplink data block, for example, the last transmission opportunity in each Grant free resource period, such as TTI3, or TTI10, etc. In this case, the second indication information may be 0001, used for indicating that TTI(7*n+3) is the end positions for uplink data transmission, where n is a non-negative integer, and TTI(7*n+3) may be TTI3, TTI10, etc. Optionally, the second indication information may be 0, it indicates that the end position for uplink data transmission is a specific position (the specific position here may be the last TTI in a Grant free resource period). In this implementation, the starting position for transmission of an uplink data block is not limited, and may be TTI0, or TTI1, or the like.

If the terminal device has data to be transmitted at TTI5, an available transmission resource closest to TTI5 is TTI7. Alternatively, the terminal device may transmit data on TTI7, TTTI8, TTI9 and TTI10, or when the terminal device has data to be sent at TTI8, the terminal device may transmit data on TTTI8, TTI9 and TTI10.

It should be noted that in the implementations of the present disclosure, the data block transmitted before the end position for transmission of the uplink data block and after the previous end position is the same data block, that is, in TTT0˜TTI3, if the end position is TTI3 and if the Transmission Block (TB)1 is transmitted in TTI0, then the data block transmitted in TTI0 to TTI3 is the TB1. That is, TTI3 is the end position of transmission of TB1. Even if the transmission of TB1 is successful before TTI3, such as TTI2, TTI3 is not used for transmitting other TB s. Thus, the network device may perform a combination processing on the data block received before TTI3. Similarly, in a next transmission opportunity (a next Grant free resource period, e.g., TTI 7-TTI10), it may be used for transmitting TB2. Before the end position (e.g., TTI10), the network device may perform a combination processing on the received TB2.

Optionally, in some implementations, a transmission resource may be included in each Grant free period. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the network device configures for the terminal device that a transmission opportunity occupies 1 TTI and a transmission interval between the two transmission opportunities is 5 TTIs, that is, the period of the Grant free resource is 5 TTIs, and Grant free resource in each period occupies 1 TTI. If the first indication information indicates that the first transmission of the uplink data block can be sent at any position of the Grant free resource, the terminal device may perform uplink transmission on a transmission resource of each Grant free period. For example, the terminal device may perform uplink transmission on TTI (5n), where n is a non-negative integer. Or if the first indication information indicates that the first transmission of the uplink data block cannot be sent at any position of the Grant free resource, the terminal device may initiate the first transmission of the uplink data block on a specific Grant free resource, which may be agreed in a protocol or may be preconfigured by the network device. For example, the specific Grant free resource may be TTI (10n), where n is a non-negative integer. For the end position for transmission of the uplink data block, it is similar and will not be repeated here for brevity.

Implementation 4: The information of the reference signal of the uplink data block includes information of at least one root sequence and information of at least one cyclic shift sequence.

Case 1

The information of the at least one root sequence is information of a root sequence, the information of the at least one cyclic shift sequence is information of multiple cyclic shift sequences, and different cyclic shift sequences correspond to different numbers of transmission.

In this case, the terminal device may determine a cyclic shift sequence corresponding to a number i of transmission according to the number i of transmission of the uplink data block, and then generate a corresponding reference signal sequence according to the root sequence and the cyclic shift sequence, so that the i-th transmission of the uplink data block may be performed according to the reference signal sequence.

In this implementation, the network device may configure different cyclic shift sequence sets (corresponding to the above-mentioned multiple cyclic shift sequences) for different terminal devices. By configuring the cyclic shift sequence sets of different terminal devices to maintain orthogonality, inter-user interference can be avoided, and the network device may identify the number of transmission of the uplink data block by detecting the cyclic shift sequence of the reference signal.

Case 2

The information of the at least one root sequence is information of multiple root sequences, the information of the at least one cyclic shift sequence is information of a cyclic shift sequence, and different root sequences correspond to different numbers of transmission.

In this case, the terminal device may determine a root sequence corresponding to a number i of transmission according to the number i of transmission of the uplink data block, and then generate a reference signal sequence according to the root sequence and the cyclic shift sequence, so that the i-th transmission of the uplink data block may be performed according to the reference signal sequence.

In this implementation, the network device may configure different root sequence sets (corresponding to the above-mentioned multiple root sequences) for different terminal devices. The root sequence sets of different terminal devices have low correlation, thus inter-user interference can be avoided, and the network device can identify the number of transmission of the uplink data block by detecting the root sequence of the reference signal.

It should be noted that some or all of the above-mentioned sequence (root sequence and cyclic shift sequence) information remains unchanged during data transmission, or some or all of the above-mentioned sequence information is sequence information for a specific moment. At other moments, the root sequence and cyclic shift sequence information may be obtained according to other rules, and the implementations of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

For example, at TTI0, the cyclic shift sequence corresponding to the first to fourth transmissions is [0, 1, 2, 3]. According to a frequency modulation rule of the reference signal, CSj=CS(j−1)+offset; offset=2, where CSj represents the reference signal j, and offset represents an offset between two adjacent reference signals, then it may be determined that at TTI1 the cyclic shift sequence corresponding to the first to fourth transmissions is [2, 3, 4, 5]; at TTI2 the cyclic shift sequence corresponding to the first to fourth transmissions is [4, 5, 6, 7]; and at TTI3, the cyclic shift sequence corresponding to the first to fourth transmissions is [6, 7, 8, 9].

Optionally, in some implementations, the information for indicating the starting position of the transmission of the uplink data block is shared by multiple serving cells, or is for one serving cell. Or, the information for indicating the end position of the transmission of the uplink data block is shared by multiple cells, or is for a cell. Or the information for configuring a reference signal for the transmission of the uplink data block is shared by multiple serving cells or is for a serving cell.

In other words, the network device may configure the same first indication information to the multiple serving cells, that is, the multiple serving cells may configure the same starting position for the transmission of the uplink data block, or the network device may independently configure corresponding first indication information to each serving cell. In other words, the network device may uniformly configure the same first indication information for multiple serving cells, or may independently configure corresponding first indication information for each serving cell in the multiple serving cells, respectively. For the information for indicating the end position of the transmission of the uplink data block and the information for configuring the reference signal for the transmission of the uplink data block, it is similar and will not be repeated here for brevity.

Optionally, in some implementations, the starting position information for the transmission of the uplink data block is configured to be shared by multiple non-dynamic resources or is configured for a non-dynamic resource.

Or, end position information for the transmission of an uplink data block is configured to be shared by multiple non-dynamic resources or is configured for a non-dynamic resource.

Or, the information for configuring the reference signal for the transmission of the uplink data block is configured to be shared by multiple non-dynamic resources or is configured for a non-dynamic resource.

Specifically, if each serving cell is configured with multiple non-dynamic resources, the network device may configure the multiple non-dynamic resources to correspond to the same first indication information, that is, the terminal device may perform uplink transmission on the multiple non-dynamic resources and may adopt the same starting position. Or the network device may configure each non-dynamic resource in the multiple non-dynamic resources to correspond to corresponding first indication information, that is, the terminal device may perform uplink transmission on a certain non-dynamic resource and may adopt the starting position corresponding to the non-dynamic resource. In other words, the network device may uniformly configure the same first indication information for multiple non-dynamic resources, or may independently configure corresponding first indication information for each non-dynamic resource in the multiple non-dynamic resources, respectively. For the information for indicating the end position of the transmission of the uplink data block and the information for configuring the reference signal for the transmission of the uplink data block, it is similar and will not be repeated here for brevity.
